Last night, if your TV was on in your home, most likely the images being broadcast into your living room were those of the State of the Union address. As I listened to the talk about where we are as a nation I began to think about the state of the union of the church.
As a whole, where are the churches of America? Where do we stand in the area of life transformation? Are we as Christ followers closer to being who God wants us to be today than we were last year?
How about in the area of caring for the poor and underprivileged? Are we, as the church, doing our part to care for our communities?
What about in the area of simply showing the love of God to our neighbors?
I believe the church in America is a long way from where we need to be. It is time that we stop going to church and we resolve to be the church God expects.
It is time we take seriously what it means to bear the name “Christian.”
It’s time!
